Well, it was a pretty good run for 249 years, #America. Maybe in the 2026 midterms checks & balances & guardrails will return.

Welcome to the snark side.
Without even reading the article, it's gotta be Massie.

What do I win?

What's the over/under on how many times you need to run yourself into a wall to cause that much damage?

Come up with better excuses Gestapo goons.

Yes, "incompetence". Surely.

Does the "docuseries" budget come out of the original $40MM or is Bezos gonna burn another shit ton -- yeah, I know, it's nothing to him -- of money to curry Trump's favors?

Highest grossing documentary in a decade. So they say.

Question: How much have theater ticket prices gone up over that decade?

(Also, at least theaters I checked in my area seemed to have elevated prices for Melania compared to other films.)

Soon to be 218-214 after swearing in, whenever Johnson decides it's the right time.

Three seats still vacant -- California (R), Georgia (R), New Jersey (D).

218-217 is probably too much of a long shot?

What's the over/under line on when Johnson swears him in? Or is Johnson gonna "Grijalva" him also?

Abernathy? Yeah, he was a piece of work.

Can he quit PBS Newshour too?

The only reporting I can see about a NASCAR race comes from a single source that seems to have confused their racing organizations. They put NASCAR in the headline, but it's IndyCar in the text.

But, in the end it's still just a circus for Trump's benefit.

It doesn't refute Ann's point but -- being a pedant -- it seems to be an IndyCar, not NASCAR, race though NASCAR would seem the natural choice.

And, according to Burgum, it's going to be free?

This I have to see. Well, it's going to be on Fox, and is promoted by Trump, so I guess I'm not going to.

Everything about this man's body language says -- to me -- I don't want to answer this question, but I'll lie my ass off because I have to.

At this point, I'm wondering if this release of Epstein is to provide a distraction for *waves arms wildly* EVERYTHING ELSE.

MAGAs won't even comprehend this is TRUMPS attempting to steal more money from them (& everyone else) cause it's not the usual "here's a thing you can buy at an inflated price to prove you're a patriot". Or "send me money cause you love me".

To them: It's Trump's just rewards for being exposed.
January 30, 2026 at 4:09 PM
TRUMPS AREN'T suing contractor who leaked & pled guilty. TRUMPS AREN'T suing firm that employed the leaker. (Who had all their gov't contracts cancelled.)

TRUMPS ARE suing the IRS and Treasury. Into which he has placed people he controls. The only question left is how high will final payoff be?
January 30, 2026 at 4:09 PM
Cool. How much can I sue IRS & Treasury for over all the data of mine that DOGE has stolen?

Trust me, my reputation is much less tarnished than ANY of the Trumps. So I should get more, right?
January 30, 2026 at 3:52 PM
How they can't put this 2+2 together is beyond me.

Pardon?

Everyone is there solely to blow smoke up his giant orange ass just like he wants them to and he "wanted to get the hell out of there"?
January 29, 2026 at 8:40 PM
Time to blow a shit ton of smoke up the Orange Ass and make him feel better about all the shit jobs the people he's hired are doing on his behalf.

What?

The mind-expanding possibilities of non-stop programming of Scott Baio, James Woods, Lee Greenwood, John Rich, Nicki Minaj, Dean Cain, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, et al wasn't appealing?

I'm just flabbergasted.
